How Did STEVE LACY Blow Up?

Steve Lacy's been one of the hottest artists out in the last few months with his song "Bad Habit" topping the charts. So I figured I'd tell you guys how he blew up...

it seems so random seeing Uzi, Kanye and Steve Lacy in one picture 💀

[@mariamart_0]

i just hope he don’t eventually become “too” mainstream where his greatest songs like Dark red become too saturated

[@hatedredd945]

Too late

[@Vkpz]

It already happened, dark red and bad habit are the only songs new fans know lol

[@Watermelon74]

Every fan of every artist has this fear 🙄 I certainly don't think Steve Lacy will be a one-hit wonder.

[@OscarTorres-dc7gu]

@@Vkpz yeah im trying to get into him. Im into 80’s rock because of my dad so its hard to like steves music. I tried listening to his first e.p. And my favorites are probably looks and dark red

[@potatopotatoeOG]

TikTok does that already. Sadly. Like I’m so tired of hearing Kulosa. Never have I streamed that song once! But trust my roommate and the many other TikTok users around me to have it playing around me at least twice a day.. at least!!

Tiktok also plays a big role nowadays. If you have multiple songs blow on there, you struck gold. Doja cat is a great example of this as well

[@Watermelon74]

Yeah Doja has been making music for almost 7 years but it wasn't until Moo and Say So that blew her up. I'd say these are literal organic artists, TikTok is a little push.

i wouldn’t call his story a blow up story, my mans been working his way up in the scene for a while

[@goyard7576]

*Damn I used to make beats off garage band. Honestly pissed at myself for giving up on it. If I can give any advice for anyone trying to make it in music it would be, please don't let anyone's non supporting ass hold you back and to always work on your sound. I will always regret giving up on something I truly loved.*

[@sebastiandeleon1618]

I used t make I phone beas just off the iPhone store the free apps while I was homeless sitting on he sidewalk. The sounded like actual beats. I regret giving up on it.

[@gingermclovin]

ego death is a banger album

[@juvyobra4367]

He blew up bc of the "who ever moves first is gay" meme

[@SillyNinja]

he didn’t just randomly blow up. steve lacy is actually awesome, worked so hard with everything he did, making everything on just garage band, and yet managing to make hit songs.

[@maddyXjianhao_edits]

Pretty sure why he got famous was "English or spanish

[@howwhenwhywhat]

wrong, he got famous before thay

Lol he blew up just wit Steve Lacys demo, heck he had a Grammy nom before dat

Labelling him down to a blow up is such a snub man 😂. He’s been doing everything right for the past almost decade

[@RomanTheRapper]

I like this video but my biggest problem with these “blow up” stories is skipping the details. Like how exactly did he get that placement? If it turns out it’s because his dad was friends with somebody in the group then it’s gonna mean a lot less. Something about him makes me think he’s an industry plant

[@dinairfonseca6524]

His dad wasn't around, he was definitely placed "by accident" Bro. Thundercat's brother put him in the band without him knowing he was recording an album, he was having fun

[@kadenpile-riley2170]

Roman The Rapper no one asked bro

[@kadenpile-riley2170]

Bro he’s been making music on his phone for fun and you think he’s a Industry plant?

[@willallegro8935]

well honestly, i don’t know what you expected from this video. it seems more directed at getting views than giving you all the ins and outs of steve lacy. he has plenty of interviews that you could find really easily. besides that, i really don’t think being an industry plant is a bad thing even though he isn’t one. if a label sees value in you and makes an investment, and that investment is successful, why does it matter? if music sounds good to you then it is good

[@abro5585]

That “friend” who hooked him up with the internet was thundercats brother I believe

[@tacticalcyan]

ENGLISH… OR SPANISH?

[@MMMDrip]

Who is here in 2024 from English or Spanish?

[@foxcannon]

Steve also gave a TED talk on this topic a few years back called “The Bare Maximum.” It’s amazing, you should definitely go listen to it.

[@lyricalmonster1856]

I dropped a song called money bag gs when I was 17 in high school and my homies loved me for it and I’m still dropping something today Halloween album will have to wait but I did make upgrades on it so it can drop any time soon lol sry for fans that waited so patiently but I will be dropping sum heat at 6pm to 3am maybe prepare for the awaken album
